Dorothea Puente "The Death House Landlady" - a podcast by Emash Digital / Wondery

In the 1980s, Dorothea Puente ran a boarding house for tenants many of whom were elderly or mentally disabled. On the outside it appeared that Puente was providing a much needed service to individuals that may have had no where else to turn. But in reality, she was murdering these individuals so that she could profit from their benefit checks long after they were dead. Join Mike and Gibby as they wade through the twists and turns of this fascinating case of Puente who become known as the "Death House Landlady". Puente may have appeared as loving grandmother to many but her lust for money ran extremely deep. Visit our website truecrimeallthetime.com for contact and merchandise information.
